Same, But Different Views
The same person, a different view.
Your mind wonders
You wonder how you arrived at such a place
So free, limitless, untouchable
You breathe in the free pure air
Absorb the innocent views, too pure to criticise
You are your greatest friend
Your mind wonders
The snarl at this cruel world
Unfair, hateful and disrespectful
The smell of anger fill your lungs
Sights you see are to be censored
Trust no one but yourself
Paradise, the smile you wear catches
Others see your view and are embraced
You truly have blessed your self
You hold wealth in the palm of your hands
You want for nothing
You have everything that your heart desires
Paradise, a place that is only dreamed of.
Why embrace when others don’t care you say
Church is the only place that can bless you
You can not see wealth
You will never have enough
Your heart will desire everything you have not.
You are of great stature
A simple person of simple needs
Simple by way of perception
Nothing is a challenge
Tasks are presented to you
You take them as positive lessons
You struggle with only yourself
A simple desire to love to hate
To you, nothing is free
A walk in the park presents its challenge
Nothing is your fault
Everyone else is to blame
